Key Features When it comes to historical fiction, there is no more action-packed and dramatic subject than Alexander. No one has tackled the whole story in a single volume before, and no one could do it better than Christian Cameron. For fans of Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell, Robert Harris and Steven Pressfield. About the Book: Alexander To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary. As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By twenty-five he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story. Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling - a story of extraordinary daring and unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction and murderous intrigue - the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.
